You should close all files before the ioctl to make sure that all buffers of 
the IO library are flushed.

This means someone is still using this disk.  You should figure out this user.

Yes, this is because the first disk is still in use.

Is the unmount() not successful if you do the ioctl?

The solution is to track down the remaining disk user.
